Rick Block Eliminated in 2nd Place ($8,906)

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Rick Block
Rick Block

Rick Block min-raised his button and Joseph Elia moved all in. Block instantly called off for 300,000. Once again, Block got it in good with the {A-Hearts}{J-Spades} against {K-Hearts}{2-Hearts}, and his position improved on the {A-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} flop. But Elia picked up straight outs on the {J-Hearts} turn, and then the {10-Clubs} appeared on the river, securing the win for Elia with Broadway. A visibly irritated Block walked out of the poker room, but he returned a few minutes later to congratulate Elia on the title.

We'll have a full recap of Event #2 coming later.
